SkyWalking Kubernetes Helm repository provides ways to install and configure SkyWalking in a Kubernetes cluster. The scripts are written in Helm 3.
Full documentation: skywalking.apache.org/docs/skywalking-helm/next/readme/ — or read it in this repository under docs/.
| Install | Quick Start · Where to Get the Chart |
| Storage | Pick a Backend · Elasticsearch · BanyanDB · PostgreSQL |

| Upgrade | Upgrade · Version Compatibility |
| Trouble | Install and Startup · UI and Login |
| Values | Chart Values |
Three values have no default and must be set explicitly on every install.
| name | description | example |
|---|---|---|
oap.image.tag | the OAP docker image tag | 11.0.0 |
oap.storageType | the storage type of the OAP | elasticsearch, postgresql, banyandb |
ui.image.tag | the Horizon UI docker image tag | horizon-1.0.0 |
Set them on the command line, or put them in a values file and pass -f my-values.yaml.
helm install skywalking oci://docker.io/apache/skywalking-helm \ --version 5.0.0 -n skywalking --create-namespace \ --set oap.image.tag=11.0.0 \ --set oap.storageType=banyandb \ --set ui.image.tag=horizon-1.0.0 \ --set elasticsearch.enabled=false \ --set banyandb.enabled=true \ --set banyandb.image.tag=0.11.0
The default storage backend is Elasticsearch, which needs its CRDs installed first — see Quick Start for that path and for the other chart sources (development snapshots, building from source).
A fresh install has no login. Horizon UI ships no default credentials and does not fail closed: the pod reports Ready and nobody can sign in until you configure users. See Set Up Logins.
